to

and border-bottom color to ‘#9B1111’ with extended border to ‘15px solid’ looks like as follows,

You can also change ‘position’ from ‘relative’ to ‘absolute’. Don’t edit this property unless you are a pro designer. Because the improper value of ‘position’ property can spoil the layout of the template.

Note: Changing ‘width’ property to pixels would affect the responsiveness of the template.

Post Titles in the template has the following defaults:

.entry-title a {
color: #f45145;

You can change the color of the post title by replacing the default value ‘#f45145’ to any other value of your wish.

Header wrapper in the layout can be identified with the following starting line of code:

<div id='header-wrapper'>

By default, you can just have only one widget in this area. The following code is responsible for the limitation of adding widgets:

Set maxwidgets=’1’ to any limited number if you wanted to add more widgets this this section. Also set showaddelement=’yes’ to enable the ‘Add a gadget’ option in this header section. Remember that setting maxwidgets only is not enough to enable adding more widgets, you must set showadelement=yes also.

To lock/unlock the widgets, you should change the locked attribute in the widget code. For example to unlock the header widget, I would change locked=’true’ from the following code to ‘false’.

Not every font is supported in every browser, I specifically mean the browsers in our handheld devices and so on.
